I love the boxing gym. Everyone is down to earth and skilled. I really feel like I am learning self defense and becoming more confident while out in the city. Recommend this to anyone interested in picking up a new skill and getting a fantastic work out. read more

Where to start? There is so much to love about this place. First. I'll start with the workout, since that's generally why people go to Cappy's. Boxing is hard. Who knew? The boxing fitness class is an absolute @sskicking for the first few times, and will probably leave you exhausted and sore (in a good way). But the results are fantastic. And while you do some of the same things, every time, the workout is always different. They constantly change it in little ways that keep it really interesting and engaging. Second. It is just flat out fun. The class starts with jumping rope and some old-school calisthenics, which are hard but simple and fun in their own way. Then they break you into pairs or sometimes threes, and you go through a series of different drills (hitting the heavy bag or speed bag, punching pads or mitts, working with medicine balls, etc.) And I don't know what it is about the place, but the people that work out here just seem universally cool. Every workout partner I've been paired with has been great. People are at all different fitness and skill levels, but it is just a great environment. Not at all like the boxing gym movie stereotype you might picture. I'd say its more than half women, for one thing. And for another, it just has a great community feel. Which brings me to: Third. The instructors. You know how with some workout classes -- like yoga, or ski fitness or whatever type of class you might take -- there are some instructors you just can't stand? Well, there is none of that at Cappy's. Every instructor is fantastic and brings just a little different perspective. It seems like a minor thing, but they really go out of their way to learn your name immediately. They say hello and goodbye and use your name, and it just reinforces the idea that it is a community and I think it rubs off on everyone that goes there. I've tried lots of different methods for keeping in shape, and this is the most fun / most addicting thing out there. read more

I can honestly say I choose Cappy's Boxing Gym over any other gym, fitness center, or fitness class there is out there. The boxing fitness class has got to be the most hardcore workout I've ever experienced, yet it was the first time I ever felt like I was accomplishing my work out goals and getting some where. I recently bought the Groupon for the month of unlimited classes. I went before with my friends and I was so out of shape that I nearly passed out 10 minutes into the class. With that being said, I was a bit embarrassed to go back but I didn't want to waste a perfectly good Groupon. So, after getting up the courage to go back, I finally went back and was happy that I did. Every day was something different. A new routine and new work out plan set up that I hadn't done in previous classes there. It's cool too because each time, there's a new instructor, so they've always got something different planned out. They make you feel really welcomed and are more than happy to assist you. They don't look down on you if you're out of shape and encourage you to take as many breaks as you need but to keep going. It's the type of atmosphere you want to be in when returning to a gym or getting into some sort of work out routine after a while. I definitely recommend everyone at least try 1 class. And why wouldn't you? The first class is only $5! read more

I'm relatively new to Seattle, and was looking for a boxing gym. A friend pointed me to Cappy's, and boy was it a great find! I'm an intermediate boxer, so I stopped in for the training class,as opposed to the cardio class. As with any session, we started off on the jump ropes to warm up. What's different about Cappy's is that instead of the entire class doing the same exercise, Cappy had us rotating from station to station practicing different techniques. I found this method to be a lot more fun than the typical training class. I also like that Cappy reserves approx. the last 20 min for full contact drills for the beginners/intermediates and sparring for the advanced. At a bunch of gyms that I've been to, they only do full contact a few days per week. read more

This is a great gym with friendly coaches and members. I started coming with minimal workout experience and no boxing experience and have found it an informative, engaging, and supportive. Highly recommend to anyone interested in trying out boxing! read more

I have been looking for a boxing gym for about three months. I've been to the cardio kickboxing places and really don't find kicking things very gratifying. Punching however...that's more my speed. There's something satisfying about punching a heavy bag but I couldn't find anywhere to go that would allow me to punch a bag and not require me to spar or enroll in boxing lessons. I don't want to hit people or learn to fight in the ring...I just want to destress by punching heavy bags. :o) I found Cappy's on a google search and was so excited that they had just what I was looking for (I'm a beginner) a boxing fitness class! So I emailed my good friend (the friend that's tried belly dancing and crew with me - up for any class - everyone needs a friend like that) and asked her to go with me. True to the other reviews here on YELP the class started with jump rope, jumping jacks and mountain climbers. Then we went into circuit-style training moving from station to station. Also true - this class kicks your butt, but it's fun as hell! Oh, and the instructor was amazing. I wish I could remember her name. She was incredibly attentive (as she could tell we were pretty lost) and took the time to show us what to do at every station we moved to. She also made us feel completely at ease and answered all our questions and walked around correcting people's form. It really is a great class and I highly recommend it to all levels (seriously -there was this guy there who was obviously incredibly advanced - somewhat scary but amazing). There were times I had to take a break (hopefully that will go away and I can make it through the hour) and I have to say that I never felt like the "idiot just standing there catching my breath". Everyone really does go at their own pace. Oh, one piece of advice - be sure you bring water...lots and lots of water. Sorry for the long review - I just got back and I'm excited. read more

This gym changed my life! In the past 4 years I have been coming here I have never done the exact same workout twice, I feel so much better about my health and wish I would have started exercising sooner. The Staff is wonderful, remembers each Guest personally and takes a genuine interest in improving your fitness game. Highly recommend and completely worth the money. read more

What's not to love about being able to punch your stress away and get a good workout while you're doing it?! Instructors are great and take the time to correct form and provide personal instruction. This place is the real deal and smells a little like it too but you'll leave the gym with a little bit of sweat and a desire to come back again soon. read more

Great local boxing gym in the CD area of Seattle. I went to my first boxing fitness class yesterday and it was a very friendly and chill atmosphere. First class was just $5 and includes everything you need - help getting your hands wrapped, coaching/guidance, gloves, and a circuit that will kick you in the behind! I was exhausted after, but felt great. I've played many sports, done the traditional gym thing, hot yoga class, crossfit, etc. etc. and this was defintiely something new and exciting to add to the repertoire! People are not uptight, the coach was awesome, and I hope to be back soon! read more

man, Cappy's is one of the reasons I miss living in Seattle so much, and coming from someone who has literally hundreds of gyms and workouts at her disposal in New York, that should mean a LOT. although I've only popped over here a couple of times, each workout was thoroughly well paced and structured. don't be intimidated if it's your first time or you are (like me) hopelessly uncoordinated and clumsy. the instructors are very friendly and patient and don't mind showing you proper form and technique. the fitness classes are the least intimidating and probably where I'm more comfortable at since I'm pretty sure if someone took a swing at me in the sparring classes, my default reaction would be to duck/run. it's also a part of classpass which means you really have no excuse except to give it a shot cuz there's nothing to lose! read more

I've been taking the boxing fitness classes at Cappy's for about two months now and I must say you will not find anything better elsewhere. The classes are affordable and you cannot possibly exhaust the potential to advance your technique. The environment is relaxed and non-competitive. If you are open to positive, constructive criticism you will learn how to throw a punch properly, channel your stress in a healthy way and improve your self-esteem. When I started the classes I had no clue as to proper form, but the instructors (WHO ARE ALL UNIQUE AND AMAZING) were careful to pair me with people at my level. And the results/improvements are obvious in less than a week of classes. You must go now! read more

I've only been to Cappy's a few times now, but I can already say with confidence that it is a GREAT place to work out. It's fun and challenging. I really appreciate that the trainers allow me to work at my own pace - they're positive and encouraging. They also remember everyone's names remarkably quickly, so it feels like the friendly neighborhood place that it is. I always feel great after an hour at Cappy's - and the hour flies by, because the workouts are always different. Cappy's is a gem! read more

Thoughts after two visits: There is a very friendly vibe here. Cappy and Ann are genuinely nice people. Aerobically and muscularly, the workout is an ass-kicker. Turns out that jumping rope for 3 minutes recruits muscles you don't use a lot in other contexts. I came in never having put on boxing gloves; I sparred with a couple of experienced guys and never felt like I was in some kind of testosterone contest--the rules of engagement are tweaked to make the sparring safe and useful for both parties. I was pretty embarrassed by how clumsy I felt and how utterly ineffectual I was, but that was strictly my own deal--my partners were patient, accommodating, and non-judgmental. And apparently getting useful technique practice. A wonderful alternative to whatever the yuppie fitness craze of the moment is. read more

I joined this gym for a month and it was a great experience. I was a little intimidated walking in because it is a boxing gym after all. The staff made me feel at ease and the other people in the class were cool as well. I'll tell you one thing about this place. You will get a workout. Punching bags, jump rope, abs, and cardio is involved. I would still be there but the 120 a month price tag was too steep to pay as I already have a contract at a fitness club. This place is worth checking out. read more

Took the beginning boxing class offer and I am now hooked. Very friendly group of people accepting all levels for a great workout.

First time going to a boxing class and I loved it! Great workout, but also the instructor modifies each exercise or technique to all levels. The music they play keeps you pumped up and going even when you get tired!! Highly recommend!! read more

I have been going to Cappy's since 2015. The gym definitely has that neighborhood type feel to it. The coaches are wonderful and are typically good at remembering your name. To me, that shows that they really pay attention to who walks through that door and it shows they really value every individual. Every single coach has their own particular style, but will always give a challenging workout. The gym is very welcoming to all skill levels which will make the new person feel at ease. 5/5. Thank you to all the coaches that make this gym great. read more

Uber inspiring and always pushes me! Great fitness class and good amount of time hitting the bags! Have been going on & off since 2010.

Been attending off and on for 3 years now. Good about teaching beginners the basics. Once you reach a certain point, you'll need to take additional classes, additional $$ to consistently increase your skill level. Always a good workout if you push yourself. read more

As a travel nurse it can be hard to find good places to work out since we move every 3-4 months! So every place I go I try to find a good place to work out. Cappy's Gym in Seattle was that place for me! Great coaches, great workouts. Their fitness class was the best class for all levels of fitness! Also, they take time to better you show you the correct way to do the exercises so you don't hurt yourself!! It's only $5 for the first class or if you have class pass. I am not a pro boxer by any means but they make you feel like you fit in! Go online and sign up!! read more

Cappy's Boxing Gym - Cappy's Gym!! - Gyms Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I don't like working out at all, so it speaks volumes that I love Cappy's so much that I've brought multiple people there, including my mother, to give it a try. The boxing fitness class is a great workout and the hour passes by super quickly! The music is awesome, the instructors are the best, and there is absolutely nothing I would consider changing about it. In short: don't all go, because I like a small-ish class, but definitely give it a try! Cappy's deserves your money more than any other fitness joint! read more

Well I have to give 5 stars here for sure! When you first walk in, it is very intimidating the smell, the rustic old school cliche boxing gym straight out of a movie feel. However, that is where the scary ends. The instructors are all super cool and friendly(I may have favorites but, I won't divulge). They make a crazy effort to know everyones names which is really cool because I have a hard time remembering the name of the person they partner me up with that day. All the other patrons in the class are always friendly and you truly see all walks of life and skill level here. This really put me at ease because you might find a particular workout a little tough but, nobody is yelling at you for not keeping up. The instructors are also really good at pairing you up with someone at similar skill levels to make sure you are not being over/under matched which I really like and 90% of the time I get paired with perfect partners. I only do the Boxing fitness class which is a pretty hard/fun workout but, I am sure the actually boxing classes are just as good. read more

if you havent gone. you need to go. This place is the best. Nice people. Its fantastic!.

Very intense but I enjoyed it. The first class is $5. $23 after that so it's best to buy a package. I am so out of shape. It says all fitness levels. Ummmmm I need to work out to come work out here. Thats how I felt but the trainer was actually really helpful. He said it was completely fine for me to take breaks and passed me water. I was the only one taking breaks it seemed. I felt bad for my partner who I was teamed up with but she understood and offered great pointers. I was wore out with the warm up just jumping rope. I wanted to leave at that moment due to exhaustion but I stayed. I'm going to push myself to stick with it. It really was fun even though I felt like I was dying. Yeah the feeling of death is good in some sort of sick way I guess. This was the most intense workout I've had. I went to a bootcamp before and it just doesn't compare. I just know I will be so fit and looking better than before if I stick with this. I'm going to try. It was a bit intimidating but I just get nervous. I went alone adding to my nerves. I just knew in my mind I was the biggest and most out of shape. At the end of the day it was all in my head. If you come and you see me laid out dying on the floor just know I gave it my all. Set aside some water. Thanks in advance. From the couch to Cappys!!! read more

Took a class here this morning. Although I was a little hesitant since I typically don't go to boxing gyms for workouts, I loved this spot. The instructor was friendly and corrected my form (I am pretty sure I perfected my uppercut), and more importantly, the overall workout kicked my butt. I am pretty fit, and I was sweating heavy before the first 15 minutes of class were over. At the end of class, you can grab a foam roller for the final few minutes--- I always appreciate a gym that leaves time for a stretch at the end. read more

Went here with my husband for a 1-hr personal coaching with Coach Mike and it was great! He taught us all the basics and made it a really enjoyable workout. The workout space is inviting and comfortable so you don't feel insecure and can actually focus on your workout. Definitely will be back for the classes. read more

I had my first boxing fitness class last night. It was challenging but fun! The instructor helped wrap my hands, showed my friend and I how everything is set up and demonstrated each station of the workout. I appreciated how the gym supports people of all skill levels and no prior experience is required. The environment is friendly and encouraging. I'm planning on purchasing a 10 class pass so I can continue the workouts. At some point I will try the boxing lessons so I can learn to spar. read more

The boxing fitness classes are great. I was a beginner when I started and I always felt welcomed. The coaches are always very helpful at correcting form and teaching the new techniques. read more

The best gym in Seattle for any gender, age or fitness level. The boxing fitness classes are amazing..... a combination of old school boxing and good old calisthenics. Do you want to get in shape AND acually enjoy the process? Then Cappy's is the place to go. read more

cappys is the best gym i've ever been to. the way that the coaches make me feel about myself motivates me to work harder, and be proud of what i've accomplished. the price is the most reasonable i've found in the whole city compared to what i personally gain in training. i've been to every class they have to offer for fitness and sparring, they are perfect sizes varying from 5 to 20 people from all different backgrounds, ages and all with different goals. personally my goal was weight loss and i've accomplished more in 4 months that i thought was possible in a year. there is so much one on one coaching it feels like you are there by yourself. i can't say enough good things about all the coaches at cappys, and it's always special when the owner of the gym teaches a class himself, something you don't get at most gyms in the seattle area. i will continue to go to cappys for as long as i can throw a punch and jump a rope. whether you're looking to get in shape for boxing, or get in shape for every day life, cappy's is the place to go....also getting punched is about as exciting as it can get, same with throwing one back... read more
